Scenes From the Suburbs is 30 minutes long and was co-written by Jonze and Win and Will Butler. The original "Suburbs" video follows a group of kids as some sort of mysterious military conflict tears apart their suburban neighborhood. According to a press release, the film "expands the music video into a film without abandoning the structure of a clip. The future has become reality. And the threat lies in the proximity of the military. Memories of a past summer." The festival's website has a few more details: "A group of suburban youths. Back then, in the summer, so long ago. They couldn't leave town because outside the country was at war and the military controlled life and all gateways. The teenagers wander aimlessly about town. Winter is a long way off. And love and longing and friendship still mean-- everything."

That's the film's poster above. It'll screen four times in Berlin, and you can find the details of those screenings here. At the festival, the film is in competition in the shorts category. It stars a cast of unknowns.

On the Arcade Fire website, the original "Suburbs" video is described as "some kind of trailer." Watch it below.
